Dear Long,

How are you?

We’re off to a really unusual vacation! My family and I took the bus with Vung Tau. It was a long but comfortable journey and my family was very happy. Suddenly, my family heard an explosion. The bus stopped and the driver could not restart the engine.

I was frustrated and bored, so my mom and dad said we could walk to the nearby town and catch the bus when the bus restarts. It was already dark, and my family saw many street lights on the way into town. Looks like a carnival! The other people on the bus also went with my family.

When my family entered town, there was a band playing and everyone was dancing on stage. There are many beautiful lights decorating the street. Everyone in town says “Hello”, when they see us. We ate very fresh fruit and they gave us some water. I talked to a 10 year old boy, like me. He is really friendly. We all listen to music together. Then bus to town. The driver also ate some food before we started our journey to Vung Tau again. We had an enjoyable evening and it was a great start to my family vacation.

Please write back to me soon to tell me about your vacation.

Close,

Jiang.
